    TV/Receiver Comes On After Update

    The receiver is the HR34-700, which is about a year old. I know how to set the playlist, but it never stays the way I want it. Every couple of days I have to go back in and reset it to "alphabetical". Just a note....we control both, the receiver and TV with the remote that came with the...

    TV/Receiver Comes On After Update

    Our TV and receiver has started "coming on" in the middle of the night. I'm pretty sure that I've narrowed it down to the nights in which the receiver is upgrading. Is there some sort of setting that we've erroneously "set" which is causing this or what's going on. As I said I think this is...

    Video and No Audio or Audio and No Video

    If I remember right there's only 1 HDMI connection on the TV. This TV is about 7 or 8 years old.

    Video and No Audio or Audio and No Video

    I re-checked all my connections, including the "power inserter". Turned off everything and no go. Had to do the reset thingie again. And I was wondering about your comment that all I needed was the HDMI cable. Our tv allows for PIP (which we seldom use) so wouldn't I need that RGB...

    Video and No Audio or Audio and No Video

    If I remember right MONOLINK was simply a "choice" that we were given by the TV when we chose "names" for the various inputs. Looked at the back of the TV/Box. Single cable coming in from outside that goes to a small box laying on the floor (which incidentally when I picked it up I heard the...

    Video and No Audio or Audio and No Video

    We switched from Dish to Direct about 5 months ago. With Dish we had the 2 connections coming from the box going to the TV. It's been 7 or 8 years since I set this up, but I think one was HDMI, and one was using the 3 colored connectors....whatever that's called. On the TV we could get a...

    On Demand Shows Seems messed up.

    My wife and I are new Directv customers and we were really looking forward to the on demand feature, but so far we're just not impressed. I'm just wondering if this is the norm, or if there might be a problem with our equipment or internet (download). First problem, we were watching an episode...

    Questions About Expiration Dates & "Grayed Out" recorded shows

    I noticed that some of the shows that you download from on demand have expiration dates....some are just a few days away. Also one current show when we looked at the info it showed an expiration date which was just about two weeks away. Do these shows actually "expire" and disappear from the...

    A Few Questions about DirecTV from Potential New Customer

    Another couple of questions. Are the programs/movies that you download from the on demand service still available if you cancel the service in which the program came from. For instance when you sign up you get the premium channels free for 3 months. If I understand it, you can go to the on...

    A Few Questions about DirecTV from Potential New Customer

    Thanks for all the responses so far. Just a couple of other questions. With (my current) Dish setup I have two "actual" dishes. Both obviously point south with one pointing kind of southwest and one pointing more southeast. The one pointing SW still has a good clear view while the one...

    A Few Questions about DirecTV from Potential New Customer

    I've been with Dish for a number of years and seriously considering switching to Directv, but I have a few questions first. If I just go with the HMC HD DVR to begin with, and then decide to add another room later does Directv usually give you the needed HD DVR for free, or would I have to...

    Sound Out Of Sync

    Every once in a while we have a channel in which the sound is out of sync with the lips/motions of the show. We just got our HD locals setup yesterday, and the sound is out of sync on both channels. Does anyone know of a solution for this?

    Which Dish Will I Get?

    I'm in the same boat as you. I don't understand a whole lot about any of this, but I think we'll be getting a 1000.4. I called Thursday and was told the same thing....that I'd lose local channels, and guide, etc. until the new installation on Monday, but as of yet we've not lost anything...

    Louisville, KY HD locals

    I was also told that I'd lose my locals until the new satellite was installed, although I've not yet lost them.

    Louisville, KY HD locals

    I will gladly do it, since I live over 50 miles from the stations, and there is quite a bit of rugged terrain between me and them. I've yet to find anyone who says I can get the HD quality at that distance considering the terrain. I've talked to several people who sell antennae's in this...

    Louisville, KY HD locals

    I'm in the Little Rock area, but thought I'd chime in on this thread, since we're all kind of in the same boat. I called Dish this afternoon, and spent probably 30 minutes on the phone with "someone" who finally told me it would cost $99.00 to get the dish installed that I needed to get the...

    Little Rock HD Locals??

    I know this issue gets beat to death on here, but I was wondering if anyone knew what the latest schedule was for the addition of HD local stations.....mainly interested in Little Rock, AR stations. I know there used to be somewhere on here, and on the dish site where there was a press release...

    What is NPS and What about their Distant Networks?

    I was reading in another thread where it stated that Charlie announced that he was leasing a transponder to National Programming Service (NPS) so that NPS could sell Distant Networks too Dish Network customers. Does this mean that we can now (or at some point) subscribe to another set of local...

    Why All the Local HD Channels?

    I would give up about 90% of the national HD that's available if I could get local HD channels. We watch several shows on local channels, and would get much more good out of our HD if the locals were HD. I'm glad we just got CNN added, and would really like to have Speed in HD.

    DVR 510 Seems to be full but Isn't

    I probably should of come here first, before wasting an hour with a Dish Network Tech online. Anyhow, here is the problem....we have a DVR 510 in the bedroom, and about a month ago it started messing up the names of some of the programs. For instance you'd click on Haunted Detectives, and...

    What Rating is Playboy Channel Programming?

    I know Playboy used to be pretty mild compared to some of the xxx rated channels you could order, but I've heard they've started showing some more risque type shows. Can someone who has Playboy fill us in.....Does their programming fall in the R, X, XX, or XXX range? If you'd rather IM the...

    Should I be getting 129?

    If I go to the point dish option and then to the check swith option it shows sat input 1, and sat input 2. In each "chart" it shows port 1 as being 119, and ok, port 2 being 110 and ok, and port 3 being 129 and ok. If I go to system info and it runs through the status check 119 and 110 both...

    Should I be getting 129?

    I just upgraded about two months ago, and they installed a new dish....I assume the 1000. I don't know what all of the Voom channels are, but I do have MNSTR, FILMF, KNGFU, ULTRA, GAMEP, HDNWS, WSPOR, RUSH, TRESR, GLLRY, and RAVE, as well as many others. ( I realize some of what I listed may...
